COURSE ABSTRACT:
The public construction budget of the Government of Kenya for the financial year 2009/10 alone is some 140 billion shillings. Most of these funds will be used to construct roads and buildings all over the country. Each constituency will get some 200 million shillings for various construction works. The construction works to be undertaken at the constituency level include the building of rural roads, markets, schools, fishing ponds and hospitals. Other projects include the construction of water facilities, libraries and the renovation of government houses.
From this year it has been directed that 20% of the government tenders will be given to youth-operated businesses. However, there is concern that the youth do not have the necessary project management skill to undertake projects of this magnitude. Thus the Government encourages training service providers to fill this gap by offering relevant short courses. This course was designed to respond to this challenge.
